I've used the timer setting on my oven for years. That means I'm not home when it starts - why would you use it if you are at home!

I run my dryer when I'm not home.

I also run the washing machine when I am not home - but that is the appliance I am more concerned about. I'm always afraid the hoses are going to come lose and flood the house.

We had the solenoid fail open on the water valve for the ice maker in our freezer - luckily I was home for that or we would have been replacing all of the hardwood flooring in the kitchen because of water damage.

I sleep with my kiln on. It is 18 inches away from the walls (which are fireproof backer board) and is on a stainless steel kiln stand on a table covered with fireproof back board and the whole thing sits on a concrete floor. We have a smoke alarm right there.
